So, his PIP stopped in 2017 and since then he has reapplied and had an assessment in October 2018? Is he still waiting for a decision?

I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Yes sorry my friend applied in October again an got refused
-
Pointless to constantly reapply because using the same evidence they previously used, they'll most likely continue to be refused.Mandatory reconsideration the Tribunal if that fails is their best answer. Face to face advice is needed from either welfare rights or a law centre near them.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

OK thanks he just been told he has a cyst on his spine which effects his walking an also has arthritis in his arm
-
A diagnosis, will not help a PIP claim claim. It's about how your conditions affect your ability to carry out daily activities based on the PIP descriptors.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
